**Crickets Chirping**

It's the Friday before RF... I should be antique hunting and beer tasting around PA right now... Instead, I am in a ghost town...

**Tumbleweed blows past**

Somebody better takes loads of pictures!!!!!

Lol. I feel ya. I'm waiting for the RF to be over so the rest of us can live vicariously through those who got to go. *sigh*

awww well I promise to take lots of pictures. I live close enough that I am just driving up for the day...so I will download them all tomorrow evening!

I will have my new dSLR with me!!!

Yeah, yesterday early evening and late last night I came to TMC and there were NO new posts! Brrrrr!

So today I drove 48 mice out to Frederick and Westminster to various people who will take them to RF to give to their adopters. There is anticipation in the air in those households. I accept that I am not going, but boy, I wish I were going! It's gonna be a really good RF and they're going to have a wonderful time!

BTW, m137b is ending her non-obese brindle line, and she gave me her remaining four brindles! Three does and one buck. Her non-obese brindle, Skinny Boy, gave me such beautiful babies (Macbeth and The Mouse in Question) I am looking forward to working with these mice, too! Thank you, m137b!

I was also on the phone with tinyhart this afternoon. Tinyhart is in Ohio with bethmccallister and they are getting ready to depart for Pennsylvania with SEVENTY mice in the car! (I wish I were going on that car ride, too!)

Without those 48 mice, Mouseville looks so sparsely populated. I actually have fewer tanks than my self-imposed minimum! I have only about 20 mice left. MY mice! My good buddies (who all have names!), who I will now have time to spend time with again!

I'm bringing my Nikon D3100, there will be LOTS of pictures!

Bless you, Julee--and all of you with cameras! That'll be the next best thing to being there.

Request close-ups of UMC Mouse Show winners. Request close-ups of any mice you found admirable or remarkable, on or out of the mouse show. Request a pic of tinyhart holding Light Light and smiling (if you can)!

Mine is a D5100 :-P lol Many pics will be taken!!

How WONderful!

Have just spoken to a few people c. 9:30 a.m. the day of RF. People on their way, almost arriving. Exciting!

Have fun y'all! I have not been very active on the forums lately because I've been studying for finals, working on a research paper, and trying to get ready to move. I just keep telling myself it will all be over in a few weeks lol.

Yay! Lots of cameras going! Have fun and gets pix of everyone and their meeces!

I'll be slowly hobbling around trying to get some cages cleaned. I barely scratched the surface of mouse chores last weekend since I could hardly stand for long. The mouse room smells a little bit like super funky boy mouse. I'm a little more mobile this weekend, so I hope to change that. lol

Hooray that you're a little more mobile now, Gypsy!
